What would the recommendation be for that type of club?
The apex dcbs are a good club for your scoring you are kind of in between. You are a higher end mid hcp.
Do you know which apexes you were hitting?
No I don't. I think I'll just start over at 2nd Swing since they have a much bigger selection of types and used sets. Their new store here in Minnetonka is great.
I have been away from the game for going on six years so I would have to look around a bit. I think you're on the right track by going with 1-2 year models that are highly rated.
btw - make sure and check lofts. Some of them are really cranking up the loft for longer distances and they can vary quite a bit between manufacturers and models. A 7 iron can be damn near an older 5 iron loft at times.
The woods felt great - hybrid great. Irons need some practice - my half wedge and chipping was all over today. Not bad for a 5 week layoff
so now it’s 201 and they are pulling away in their carts and the group ahead is teeing off on 2. I realize we may may not finish if this pace keeps up but try and remain positive but they each play their own shots through 5 holes, at this point we are an hour and half into the round! They are a full hole and a half behind the group in front and so I say #### it and call the clubhouse. They get a taking to at 7 but continue to be slow the next 2 holes, between the 9th and 10th is a bit of a hike and since we are walking we figure they should be gone at 10 
even stopping for a beer and a piss they are still on the 10th green 
I lose it and tee off into them while they are on the green (par 3 
) I’m 45 and they are probably 3-5 years older than me, at this point they look up at us and pick up their balls and then get in their cart and drive around the next 2 holes and head back to the clubhouse. The group ahead were teeing off on 13 
and of course we had to skip to 2 holes to beat the sun. #### slow golfers
I looked at the time when they left the 9th green, it was 20 minutes when we got to the tee box at 10 and that was with stopping for beer/bathroom. The group ahead was already on the 12th green which is a long par 5, 11 is a long par 4. Both my group and the group in front of them were all walkers!
Bad move. What’s to gain? Skip in front of them and then play that hole later or take your handicap on the holeUnleashed my @belljr yesterday, never before have I hit into a group. Tee time was 2 pm, the course is every 8 minutes so 151 rolls up and the starter (older lady) says we can go but just then 152 rolls up but only 2 of them. They say the other 2 are right behind so she say ok, now the group in front had already played their second into the green (par 4) so the box is ready to go but she she decides to let them go. Welp the 4some is filled with 2 couples, the guys take a minute to get ready and tee off and then the ladies take forever. All 4 of them hit lunch balls because they’ve shanked them
I wish I could do something like this - I dont have a married couple my wife hangs out with and the guy golfs or vice versa.
Yeah, looking back I wish I hadn’t but the frustration got the best of me. Skipping was gonna happen after the 10th, we were gonna skip 11 and go play the 12th from about 200 yards out. Walking makes it tough to skip with the courses layout.
Those malakas will think twice about not letting people play through... I bet they don't even know that's an option....
3 of the couples we hang out with the guys all golf, the women don`t. So it works out perfect. Plus my one buddy has a place outside of Traverse City on a lake. So the girls just hit wineries or sit out by the water all day and have a good time. They never complain when we tee off at 8am and come home at 4-5pm half loaded as they are having just as good of a time as us.
Used club market is hot right now. What are you getting?Well, I'm committed to new clubs now. Sold my old set on Craigslist this morning.
I'm not sure. Going to get the free fitting they do at 2nd Swing and see what they recommend.
I have the P790s and love them. However, they are going to be much lower spin than the Apexs or the Pings (not sure what fits your game better).
Nice. The bolded stuff is more important than the clubhead anyway.I don't know my game well enough to know what fits my game.
If I play a dozen times a year, it was a good year.
I think they recommend it all...shaft, grip, adjust the lie, etc.
Go into the fitting with no preferences.Getting fitted tomorrow.
The new Cobra Radspeed irons caught my eye today. They're getting really good reviews for a game improvement iron.
I have been a solid 12 on a good day, 15-16 on a bad day handicaper. Usuallyright around the mid 80 level and I never practice other than hit a few balls before a round. Problem is I play with a bunch of guys that are from 1-7 handicaps who all hit big drives with draw. My drives are mostly straight but I will cut it on a tight hole. If I draw my drives it is by accident.Judge Smails said:
I almost bought a set of mp64?? when I got my apexes 7-8 years ago. I hit them great, just not quite as well as my apex and wasn't sold in mizuno in general at the time. My buddy who's like a 3 hcp plays mizuno now.
I can relate. The reason I want to hit a baby cut has more to do with irons than anything. I can draw the ball with a driver. I can’t afford to give up distance off the tee. But it’s hard to have 2 stock shots. Can’t have 2 way misses
Last year I played 2 rounds where I didn't lose a ball.
I took one lesson once and the guy worked on my hinge at the top. Ruined me for 2 years
I tore my rotator cuff 2 years ago when I fell on ice. Combine that with getting older and not swinging as fast my distance is down. 7 iron used to be a solid 160 and last year was struggling to hit it 150.
That sounds...naughty!
